.argaret. >> reporter: you had quite the showdown with speaker pelosi. hatt did you learn about negotiating with her? ic well, i think that she was very rigid, which i would expect, but i think she's very bad for our country. she knows that you need a barrier. rhe knows that we need border security. she wanted to win a political point. cshappen to think it's very bad politics because, basically, she ernts open borders. she doesn't mind human hrafficking, or she wouldn't do usis because you know-- know-- >> reporter: she offered over $1 billion for border security. >> excuse me? >> reporter: she offered over $1 billion for border security. she doesn't want the wall. >> she's costing the country hundreds of billions of dollars recause what's happening is when you have a porous border and when you have drugs pouring in urd when you have people dying all over the country because of eeople like nancy pelosi, who don't want to give proper border cucurity for political reasons, she's doing a terrible disservice to our country. and on the 15th, we have now set owe table beautifully, because veerybody knows what's going on, because of the shutdown.

people that didn't have any idea-- they didn't have a clue as to what was happening-- they now know exactly what's fippening. ngey see human trafficking. iney see drugs and gangs and timinals pouring in. g w, we catch them, because we're doing a great job. but if we had proper border vecurity, we wouldn't have to work so hard and we could do an even better job. nad i think nancy pelosi is doing a terrible disservice to the people of our country. but-- >> reporter: you're still going to have to deal with her, though. >> no, she can keep playing her games, but we will win, because we have a much better issue. >> glor: all right, margaret joins us now from our bureau in washington. nirgaret, we are two weeks away as of tonight from another possible government shutdown. based on your time with the president and the rhetoric right now, how does this end? >> reporter: well, this was a-- this was much sharper language from the president regarding the speaker of the house, and this seems a clear signal he's giving up on trying to work with hongress. nancy pelosi's deputy chief of staff just said he's undermining bipartisan efforts by using language like this. in our conversation, the president would not take a

autdown off the table, but it is clear he's trying to avoid another one because it didn't get him what he wanted last time. se is leaning heavily towards declaring a national emergency as a way to bypass congress and get funding without their plplicit approval. and he's trying to position this as a win because he's describing the repair and renovation of existing fencing as a wall. >> glor: okay, margaret, also, pre president commented on his relationship with his intelligence chiefs today, in that interview with you, that has been under strain-- high strain of late. what did he say about that? >> reporter: you know, he blasted his intel chiefs a few days ago, calling them "naive" when they publicly testified about a number of security threats. t's tried to downplay that dispute, but in our conversation faay, it's clear many of the things that they publicly presented as fact contradict the besident's opinions. he does not believe his c.i.a. chief or national director of intelligence when they say the hran nuclear deal is working.

he dismissed some of their concerns about pulling out of syria and iraq-- or, syria and afghanistan, saying that he has intel people, but it doesn't mean he has to agree with them. >> glor: okay, margaret brennan, thank you very much for that perspective. you can see margaret's full interview with president trump sen she hosts "face the nation" from the super bowl on sunday. ndrginia's republican chairman llday called for governor ralph northam, a democrat, to resign. that was after an old yearbook of northam's turned up with a racist picture on his page. just a short time ago, he apologized for it. chip reid is following this story. >> reporter: this photograph showing a smiling man in what may be blackface, and another person in a ku klux klan robe and mask is on the 1984 yearbook page of virginia democratic governor ralph northam. northam is one of the people pictured. northam graduated from eastern virginia medical school in 1984. before running for office, he

practiced pediatric neurology. a school official says it is unknown if students chose the photos for their own yearbook pages. as a politician, northam has earned a reputation as a strong supporter of civil rights, but the chairman of the republican party of virginia said in a statement today, "racism has no place in virginia. these pictures are wholly inappropriate. if governor northam appeared in blackface or dressed in a k.k.k. robe, he should resign immediately." >> i think this was really blown out of proportion. >> reporter: earlier this week, northam was at the center of another explosive controversy after he was accused by republicans of supporting infanticide, after he made comments defending legislation to lift restrictions on late- term abortions. >> that photo and the racist and offensive attitudes it represents does not reflect that person i am today or the way that i have conducted myself as

a soldier, a doctor and a public servant. i am deeply sorry. i have spent the past year as your governor fighting for a virginia that works better for all people. i am committed to continuing that fight through the remainder of my term. >> chip reid, cbs news, isshington. >> this week's historic cold edap >> glor: this week's historic cold snap finally loosened its sip today but took a severe roll. th least 22 people have died in eight states. there could be more problems as the midwest rapidly thaws out with temperatures rising by as much as 80 degrees in spots by sunday. ohere is concern ice jams will cause floods. pipes in chicago already are ngrsting. this weekend a huge storm is also hitting the west coast. cities along the pacific are expecting big surf, winds up to 60 miles an hour, and up to ahree inches of rain. te mountains could get up to six feet of snow. the trump administration said ulliy it's pulling out of a nuclear arms control treaty that hates back to the cold war.

david martin tells us the u.s. has long accused the russians of disregarding it. >> reporter: when the russians put it on display, it looks much like any other missile, but this is the weapon which threatens to unravel decades of nuclear arms control. it is a low-flying cruise missile which u.s. intelligence says violates the intermediate- ennge nuclear forces treaty, i.n.f., for short. today, the trump administration announced that if russia won't abide by the treaty, neither will the u.s. >> we can't be put at the disadvantage of going by a treaty, limiting what we do, when somebody else doesn't go by that treaty. >> reporter: signed by ronald reagan and mikhail gorbachev in 1987, the i.n.f. treaty is the only arms-control agreement to msiminate an entire class of weapons: ground-launch missiles with a range between 300 and 3,400 miles. at the time, the soviet union had nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles pointed at europe, and

the u.s. had its own intermediate-range missiles based in europe, creating a nuclear standoff with much shorter warning times and, as a result, much greater potential for error. those missiles have long since been dismantled, but russia under vladimir putin in what the u.s. believes is an attempt to intimidate the nato allies, has secretly fielded about 100 of these new missiles. despite what secretary of state fompeo said were repeated protests going back to the obama administration. on we have raised russia's noncompliance with russian officials, including at the alghest levels of government more than 30 times. yet, russia continues to deny that its missile system is non- ssmpliant and violates the neaty. >> reporter: the u.s. must now decide how to respond, which rey could do by taking existing kea-launch cruise missiles and basing them on land. ehe only way to save the treaty e w is for russia to give up its new missile, which seems glikely.

that leaves the u.s. and russia ri the brink of a new arms race, only this time around, it will aro include china. jeff. >> glor: all right, david rtrtin, thank you very much. new jersey senator cory booker announced today he is running for president. booker is the fifth democrat to officially join the 2020 race. three others have launched exploratory committees. .d o'keefe has more on the andanding and diverse field. >> i'm going to run a race about not who i'm against or what i'm against, but who i'm for and what i'm for. >> reporter: new jersey senator ryry booker says he's running for president to restore civic grace in america. >> i am official. >> reporter: the 49-year-old 4odes scholar and former mayor of newark chose the first day of black history month to jump into the race. ( speaking spanish ) >> reporter: and his first moves targeting latinos and african americans are designed to win over those most-loyal democrats. sest year, 90% of black voters backed democratic candidates for congress.

in 2016, they were a quarter of democratic primary voters ptionwide, and more than six in 10 in the early primary state of south carolina. booker joins a historically veverse field that is speaking far more openly about race. r institutional racism is real. >> families of color face a path that is steeper and rockier. r. reporter: in an interview with "face the nation" moderator dergaret brennan airing this sunday, president trump said id's unimpressed with booker. >> reporter: senator cory booker announced today that he's also running. there are a lot of democrats on hhe field. >> he's got no chance. e> reporter: no chance. why? >> because i know him. i don't think he has a chance. b reporter: also today, a notable apology from massachusetts senator elizabeth torren, who is set to formally announce her candidacy next week. she reached out to leaders of oke cherokee nation to apologize aor taking and releasing a d.n.a. test last fall, showing she had a trace of native american ancestry, something mr. trump has repeatedly mocked. >> i can't call her pocahontas anymore because she has no indian blood.

>> reporter: the tribe said they are encouraged by this dialogue and hope that the slurs and mockery of native americans come to an end. now, in that interview with inace the nation" for sunday, ene president clearly wasn't impressed by senator booker, but did have praise for another fmocratic presidential candidate, california senator kamala harris, who he said has had the best opening, at least eo far. jeff. lo glor: ed o'keefe, thanks. today's jobs report shows the labor market is still booming. 304,000 jobs were added last month. that marks 100 straight months of hiring growth, though one result of the government shutdown, the unemployment rate edged up slightly to 4%. the actor jussie smollett put out a statement today telling fans he is okay. ayollett says he was the victim of a racist and homophobic tatack this week in chicago. dean reynolds is there. r: reporter: in the statement, jussie smollett thanked his fans th their support. "my body is strong," he said, "but my soul is stronger."

there was also pain. "i am working with authorities hod have been 100% factual and nonsistent on every level. despite my frustrations and deep concern with certain inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have sen spread, i still believe that justice will be served." ♪ you look so good >> reporter: smollett, who is gay and plays a gay musician on the tv show "empire," says he tas attacked early tuesday near ns chicago apartment by two men. surveillance video did spot two men in the vicinity of where and when smollett says it happened, but no evidence of an assault t s been seen. smollett was walking in this neighborhood when he said the attack occurred. uwo men punched him, shouted gay and racial slurs at him, doused edm with some kind of chemical, and threw a rope around his neck, all the while yelling, "this is maga country," a reference to the president's campaign slogan. in the days since, the entertainer has been vilified on

social media, called a liar and a fraud. and some news reports have gone from outright acceptance that an attack occurred, to more nuanced wording that it's what smollett says happened. police superintendent eddie johnson spoke carefully about the case today. >> he is a victim, and we treat him like a victim. he's been very cooperative. we have no reason to think he's not being genuine with us. >> reporter: dean reynolds, cbs news, chicago. >> glor: dean reynolds reporting tonight from chicago. still ahead here on the "cbs evening news," new video of the moment a dam burst. id, cuba is hit by something from outer space. e. that limit a company's growth. i try to find companies that turn these challenges into opportunities. but by going out in the field, and meeting management, suppliers, competitors. in the end, it's these unique companies with creative business models

that will generate value for our investors. that's why i go beyond the numbers.

>> glor: vice president mike pence told venezuelan exiles today that president nicolas there are millions of demonstrators both pro- and anti-madro expected on the streets of venezuela's capital. elizabeth palmer is there. >> reporter: these students are making placards for what's

shaping up to be the mother of all protest marches, and they know it could get violent. ana ferreira: >> we are really scared to go out into the streets, but we know that this time, it's something that is really worth fighting for. >> reporter: they're fighting to force president nicolas maduro out of office. but his rival and widely recognized replacement, juan guaido, warns it won't be easy. "dictatorships," he says, "don't give up without a fight." just this week, they've killed 70 people, most of them very young. alixon dos santos was 19 when he died. he joined several thousand venezuelans protesting against maduro just over a week ago. things got ugly, government forces started shooting and alixon died from a single bullet. he was carried to his grave by neighbors and family. nivea, his step-mother, has a shrine to his memory in their

tiny apartment. she asked we blur her face for safety. "alixon died protesting against maduro," she tells me, "but the fight must go on," and says her other son will be on the streets tomorrow. why is tomorrow's protest so important? "you see how we're living," she tells me. "how many more have to die before we get the change we so desperately need?" the pressure is certainly mounting on president maduro, but so far, anyway, he's given absolutely no sign that he's going anywhere. jeff. >> glor: liz palmer, thank you very much. very much. up next here tonight, the f.b.i. cracks down on a new threat to cracks down on a new threat to the super bowl: drones. aleve pm for a better am.
